    “The political profluoridation stance has evolved into a dogmatic, authoritarian, essentially antiscientific posture, one that discourages open debate of scientific issues.” – Dr. Edward Groth, Senior Scientist, Consumers Union, 1991.

  • Fluoridation outlawed in Israel

    Just occasionally during the long sordid history of fluoridation an individual stands up against the bullying tactics of the arrogant promoters of fluoridation. This has just happened in Israel where the Minister of Health Yael German has ended fluoridation in Israel despite the vocal and vociferous attacks of fluoridation promoters which have been gleefully – and […]

  • Christchurch infrastructure design makes fluoridation ‘cost significantly more’

    ANALYSIS: Fluoridating water in Christchurch will be more costly than it would be elsewhere because of the city’s infrastructure design. Instead of having a few centralised water treatment plants where fluoride can be added, Christchurch has 49 pump stations in the city and the Akaroa water treatment plant where fluoride would need to be added. […]

  • Chief Science Advisor Releases Pure Propaganda

    The Prime Minister’s Chief Science Advisor (PMCSA) has just published a new page on fluoridation which is pure propaganda, ignoring or misrepresenting the current scientific knowledge. We have no doubt that the sole purpose is to provide a basis for the back door mandatory fluoridation Bill currently before Parliament, and the profluoridation decision expected from […]

  • Policing orthodoxy on Wikipedia: Skeptics in action?

    Note: Fluoride Action Network has spent many hours over many years trying to correct the mistakes on Wikipedia’s fluoridation site, but all to no avail. Abstract: Wikipedia has been accused of being biased against challengers to scientific orthodoxy due to efforts by editors having affinities with the Skeptics movement.

  • CDHB to vote on pro-fluoridation stance despite having no power to implement it

This decay has nothing to do with whether […]

  • Parry Sound council should learn more about fluoridation; Limeback

    Re: Town opts to stick with fluoride (Beacon Star, June 5), here are some basic facts that may not have been considered. 1. The chemicals used to fluoridate drinking water are impure. They are industrial waste liquids (usually hydrofluosillicic acid) collected from the smokestack scrubbers of the phosphate fertilizer industry and they are contaminated with […]

  • 50 Reasons to Oppose Fluoridation

    Introduction In Europe, only Ireland (73%), Poland (1%), Serbia (3%), Spain (11%), and the U.K. (11%) fluoridate any of their water. Most developed countries, including Japan and 97% of the western European population, do not consume fluoridated water. In the U.S., about 70% of public water supplies are fluoridated. This equates to approximately 185 million people, which […]

  • Professional Attack

    In this chapter, I present a number of cases in which attempts have been made to stop antifluoridationists from expressing their views, doing research, and practicing dentistry. The number of cases is very large, and they fall into comprehensible patterns. In my study of this phenomenon in other areas, there are always many more cases occurring than end up being documented.
